The veteran rockers delivered a bells-and-whistles rendition of their new album of swing standards, and left the delighted crowd buzzing
Our treasured Royal Albert Hall, welcomed the piano virtuoso, collaborator, raconteur and melophile – the legendary Jools Holland and his Rhythm and Blues Orchestra, to its stage.
Master of the keys and musical alchemist, Jools Holland owned his show, alongside ‘powerhouse' Ruby Turner, at the majestic arena, that is The Royal Albert Hall.
Eddi Reader offered a varied set. La Vie En Rose displayed her versatile vocal range and offered sensual crooning jazz, whilst her famous number one hit Perfect had the entire crowd singing along with her.
Upbeat and diverse, Jools Holland and His Rhythm and Blues Orchestra define the meaning of talent and in the musician’s own words, he’s happiest when we’re in one big ball of Boogie-ism.
